    Need help finding a race suit.

    So I'm in the market for a new 1pc race suit & I'm looking for a top quality suit at a bargain... last years models, lightly used, etc. I've been scouring the WERA board & various online retailers but any help is welcome.

    Alpinestars, Dainese, Spidi, Teknic, MotoGP/Berek whatever. Looking to keep it under 500 bucks if I can, but if I find a 1500 dollar suit for half price I'll jump on it.

    I'm about a size 40us/50 euro. (5'9", 165lbs)

    Feel free to PM me if you have any leads on offers not open to the general public.

    I got my Teknic suit a little while back for $299. It retails at $529.

    Teknic Chicane 1 Piece Race Suit - Closeout Price: $299.99! In stock NOW! Why pay list price of $529.99?

    PETE!!!! HEY PETE!!!


    I may have a few places I can check for closeout suits. HOWEVER...

    I'm already home. By the time tomorrow rolls around, and I walk into the "Friday Shitstorm" at the dealer... this thread or any discussion of actively looking for a new suit for Pete, is but a distant memory.

    Soooo, You gotta harass me a little bit tomorrow. A couple of well placed PM's or maybe even a phone call at work might be to your advantage.

    Re: Need help finding a race suit.

    Have any of the Spartan suits been showing up at lrrs as of yet? I'd like to see one in person before I throw down but they had decent reviews online.

    Re: Need help finding a race suit.

    Pete,

    I keep seeing the ads for Pilot Custom Suits in the back of my Sport Rider magazines. They advertise a custom suit for $700. I have no idea of the quality of the suit but it is an option.

    Pete I know you're considering a new suit, but I have the same brand suit as you and one of the seams blew out in June.... Roberto did an amazing job fixing it. It could be a quick fix for you while you look for a killer deal on a suit and you won't feel like you're under the gun...

    I appreciate it, but I'm lookin to go new. The leather on my IXS tore right open from the top of my thigh clear around to my hip in my easy get-off in 3 and that part of the leather didn't even touch the ground. I just don't trust that leather anymore. Can't complain all that much, I paid CHEAP money for it & it's been through 4 crashes now.

    YES, I did... thank you, bro. A couple of those definitely peaked my interest. I'll let you know if I pull the trigger on one of those suits.
